Our singers should take a leaf. At a time when Sophie-Tith, the winner
of "American Idol" and Olympus, the finalist of "The Voice 2", prefer to
publish cover albums rather than original songs, their American cousin,
the flamboyant Adam Lambert, chose to be different.

Interesting comments coming from fans of some of the other artists with RCA.

Good! Maybe he can actually get the success he deserves with another label who knows how to market him.You go, Adam.

He's lucky. RCA is such a terrible label now. They only promote singers who songs and videos all sound, and look the same.... and they're not even that great

A covers album? What kinda stupid label.

Good for you Adam. I hope he finds a label that will promote him right and I'm looking forward to his next album.

About the damn time. Trespassing could've been MASSIVE.

I applaud him for escaping their clutches. hopefully K$ will follow soon

Xtina needs to do this tbh

Good for him. A covers album is a terrible idea. And it's kind of condescending too considering he has written his own songs.

So his third album will definitely be his best yet

wow, creative differences with the people at RCA. what a shocker.
such a terrible label. he'll be better somewhere else

But I'm glad he left the label. RCA is awful. Trespassing could've been a hit.

Good for him, RCA has effed up albums by Avril, Christina and Kelly, you deserve better dude

NAUGHT comparing him to David Bowie but seriously............ THIS IS THE LABEL WHICH HAD DAVID BOWIE FOR HIS CREATIVE MUSICAL YEARS! The mainstream music industry for the past 30 years has been in steady decline. Sad.

That's what you get when the focus goes more to "the business (Industry)" and not to the "music (art)"

This is typical RCA. They always try to change the vision of the artist or tracklist...
H.A. • 3 days ago

The media has him alert. They will pick up the story on Monday to give it a fresh new news cycle.
H.A. • 4 days ago

RCA really isn't a good label. I think they are worst since they went through their changes. They have dropped the ball on a lot of their artists not just Idol. A musician like Adam needs the right label and the right people to see his vision and back him up.
H.A. • 4 days ago

Adam tweeting that out must mean he wants the media to pick it up.
H.A. • 4 days ago

His lack of success in radio? lol.
H.A. • 4 days ago

The contract expired. The linguistic of everything going down doesn't really matter. What matters is artists go through several labels throughout their careers. You move on. One thing you can say is with Adam he is proactive in his career and his people are on top of things. They all earn their money.
H.A. • 4 days ago

DMG is using the same play book they did with Katy Perry. I bet we get a single from Adam sooner than we think.
H.A. • 4 days ago

Adam isn't just any Idol. lol.
H.A. • 4 days ago

Adam fans are loud. RCA's email must of had their heads spinning. Just so you know Adam will be the first Idol (I think) to leave one label and already be signed to another. This isn't something that just happened it's in process for months. A lot of announcements coming.

I told you his people planted the story. DMG has been on this since the early part of the year.

Adam Lambert is Joining the Cast of Glee
========================================

I'm going to LMAO if Adam only does a guest starring role because the media and Gleeks are flipping their shit.
H.A. • 5 days ago

"Glee" is kicking its upcoming fifth season up a notch

Representatives for studio 20th Century Fox Television and Fox did not immediately have details on whether the role is a series regular, recurring or guest spot.

"'Glee' is really irresistible -- it's charming," he said at the time, noting he'd love to be able to play himself on the series.
H.A. • 5 days ago

What if Adam plays as himself?
H.A. • 5 days ago

Well, let's hope all those Glee fans hitting his youtubes will actually buy. They are even going back to his pre-idol days. I would love to see their reactions when they come across "Craw Thru Fire" lol.
H.A. • 5 days ago

I saw almost every country from Nigeria, South America to Europe tweeting about it. I think the show is much bigger internationally.
H.A. • 5 days ago

It would be even better if he actually performs his own music on the show. We have no idea what kind of role this is and to what extent. I love the younger viewer demo because the more the merrier. When I started to see some fans making lists and polls on what cover songs Adam should record for this 80's cover album I shuddered. Need more younger fans.
H.A. • 5 days ago

Don't you have connections with Adam's people? Did you call them yet and they told you differently.
H.A. • 5 days ago

Maybe it's just me but I see no connection with Adam doing maybe a handful of appearance on GLEE and it somehow helping his music career. I'm sure some GLEE fans will check out his music but I wouldn't count on anything more. What it could do is open up other gigs like hosting, other guest appearance TV shows etc.. It's a paying acting gig. Something to add to Adam's resume. The ratings may not be as huge as it used to be but the show seems to be huge internationally.

Is it really? Isn't that were all the teens hangout. I'm not sure I don't do Tumblr. It showed up in my tweeter feed.
H.A. • 5 days ago

I really don't want him to spend too much time on Glee. This is good exposure and the Glee teens are excited. Adam is going to be very busy with many more opportunities. As a fan from the very beginning I always wanted him to do everything. He knows so many people in the entertainment business. I like artists that are multi-talented and can do more than one thing. His first love is music and that will always be first. I'm excited for what's to come.
H.A. • 5 days ago

I think it's because they know Adam is one of his favorite artists. He jogs to Adam music everyday.
H.A. • 5 days ago

cute.

Google and twitter is your friend dude. His fans already collected over 100 articles. Wait a day they 'll keep coming. If you have hrs to spare and can get through all the tweets check his twitter mentions. You might also want to use a google translator. He is international.
H.A. • 5 days ago

The media totally ignored the cover album story(rightfully so) but this Glee story is having massive media coverage. They likey.

"Also if anyone is worried that all he’ll do is belt out notes and go all crazy, listen to this gem of emotion and beauty. Adam Lambert is no one trick pony, and things like this make me excited as HELL to see him on Glee."

He's never held a grudge against Glee. Where you get that info from?
H.A. • 5 days ago

Maybe Adam can go on Duck Dynasty too. I hear the ratings are huge.
H.A. • 5 days ago

This has nothing to do with Adam's music career. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Adam is also making an album of original music. Jessica's people tied her appearance on glee with her album promo. Adam isn't in album promo mode. I'm sure some Glee fans will go and check out his music but when Adam puts out his own original music I can assure you his people won't tie Glee with it. Not even Idol can move albums any more.
H.A. • 5 days ago

It isn't. This is just another paying gig with many to come. I don't think Adam will be some permanent cast member. He has too many thing going on including making is album of original music.
H.A. • 5 days ago

You aren't kidding when you say Darren Criss fans are insane. I personally like Chris. I hear more about him in the real world. He's so adorable.
H.A. • 5 days ago

Glee fans are cute. Or should I say Chris' fans.

literally if you're not excited for Adam Lambert to be joining glee you need help. He's a god.
H.A. • 5 days ago

I hope he gets to do Vh1 Diva again. There were talks afterwards that they wanted to bring him back again.

Adam is also on the official website of the 2 new Idol producers who he worked with on Diva.

http://www.thedenofthieves.com...
H.A. • 5 days ago

Adam lives like 20 minutes from Idol studio. 4-5 hrs a day 2x a week could be do able. We know Adam likes to stay busy.
H.A. • 6 days ago

Glee is a great gig but I don't think this is what has him giddy lately.

H.A. • 6 days ago

The only Idols that is a guarantee radio play is Kelly and Carrie. Anyone else getting radio play should enjoy while it last because soon they will join the rest of the idols. You know it's coming.
H.A. • 6 days ago

This isn't the gig that will elevate him to the next level.
H.A. • 6 days ago

Really?
H.A. • 6 days ago

Because I need to get to know the characters. I never watched Pretty Little Liars until we found out Adam was going to be on. After watching all 3 seasons the show turn out to be really good. Now I'm hooked.
H.A. • 6 days ago

If Adam ever decides to do Broadway he's had many producers say on record they would write a show for him. I don't think he's ready to go there yet.
H.A. • 6 days ago

It will be a lot more clearer soon. Nothing to do with this announcement of Glee

Adam Lambert is Joining the Cast of Glee

H.A. • 6 days ago

There isn't and never was going to be an album cover.

There is going to be a lot of BIG announcements coming soon.

He's also been in the studio with Justin Hawkins, James Morrison,
and Avacii. It's too early to know what will actually make it on his album. Adam also has several projects going on that includes Nile, Daft Punk and Sam Sparro.
H.A. • 6 days ago

Also Adam maybe hosting the EMA awards.
H.A. • 6 days ago

Adam himself had said from the beginning of his career that music won't be the only thing he'll venture into. This isn't shocking news. It was a matter of when.
H.A. • 6 days ago

The question is how much of his time does this take. He's going to have a lot on his plate in the months coming and 2014. If this will be in NY with some big projects based in LA this will be crazy.
H.A. • 6 days ago

She'll knock everyone out of the way to keep Adam to herself.

Which of the Overstreet brothers have Adam been hanging out with? Is the Glee guy or the Hot Chelle Rae guy?
H.A. • 6 days ago

I don't watch Glee but I guess I'll start. Is Lea Michelle still in the cast I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

Adam Lambert to Release an Album of 80′s Covers? (Report)

H.A. • 6 days ago

There is going to be a lot of big announcements coming soon.

He's also been in the studio with Justin Hawkins, James Morrison,
and Avacii. It's too early to know what will actually make it on his album. Adam also has several projects going on that includes Nile, Daft Punk and Sam Sparro.
H.A. • 6 days ago

The direction that Adam will be going on his next album will be rock. Pop/Rock, Alt Rock but it will not be a dance pop album or 80's cover album. The album cover story was put out by his people for a reason. In a few weeks we will know why.

There was never a consideration of releasing a cover album on the table. Adam has the best PR in the business. Stay tuned.
H.A. • 7 days ago

"It will be a interesting next couple of months."

It's only the beginning not the end. ;)

He won't be doing a cover album. Trust a bitch. ;)
H.A. • 7 days ago

Adam won't be doing an album cover. Stay tuned. ;)
H.A. • 7 days ago

I'm expecting a "parting of ways" along with a new label announcement. Stay tuned. ;)
H.A. • 7 days ago

RCA Records is under the Sony umbrella. Sony International handles all international affairs for their artists.
H.A. • 7 days ago

Sony International does set up some of the tours. Sony was very involved in Adam's Asian concerts. Their reps are also there. I believe Sony International was also responsible for David A. Asian tour.
H.A. • 8 days ago

His corebase has brought the album. Since we don't have international numbers we don't know how much he's sold since he went on tour overseas. Here in the U.S with no radio there aren't going to be a lot of casual fans hearing about it. This is true for 99% of artists but 185k U.S sales with no radio play and stopping the promotion of the album in the US is pretty good sales.
